Our Morocco trip was truly one of the most amazing trips we have taken! Both Abdellah and Said were very in tune with what we wanted out of this trip and made sure everything by was in order! . Very professional! The hotels were top notch, each with their own charm and elegance! We started in Marrakesh for 2 days, stayed in Riyad Elegencia! Absolutely gorgeous! Then we went to the Atlas Mountains and spent a few days there. Experienced the thrill of 2 hr camel rides in the Sahara Desert to the Tiziri camp where we had the most magical experience with Yousef and Mustafa! They were so kind and caring! After an amazing meal nine BerBer gentlemen entertained us around the campfire with traditional BerBer song with drums. We also played the drums and everyone told jokes and sang. It was an absolute blast! On our way back we stayed at the Highly recommended Ait Ben Haddou! Then we went to Essauira and stayed at the charming Riyad Chbanate! We wanted to upgrade our room to the top larger room with a gorgeous view of the water and city. When we called Said he said it was not a problem and took care of it with no problem or additional cost!

I have to say our driver Karim was the best part of the trip. He was so kind, caring, making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. He drove us for 6 days as we galavanted in Morocco! He always had a big warm smile and his English was exceptionally good. He speaks 6 languages! He shared so much knowledge of all the places we visited and most amazing his own traditions of being from the Berber tribe. Karim gave us great recommendations on where to shop! He stopped at all the beautiful sites so we could take pictures and enjoy the views! I highly recommend Karim as a guide for anyone planning a trip to Morocco! We will definitely ask for him again when we return! By the end of the trip I feel like Karim became a part of our family and we plan on keeping in touch with him! The whole experience was magical thanks to him!

On the last 2 days of our trip we had a driver named Faisal who drove us from Marrakesh to Essaouira.
We made a few stops where he felt were picture worthy locations! So happy he took the time to do that! He was very kind and courteous! He showed us some very special Moroccan hospitality at dinner which we were very grateful and honored!
Great guy! Highly recommend Faisal!

Our trip to Morocco was fantastic. I've always enjoyed researching destinations, finding the perfect hotels, and booking tours, but this was a girls' trip to celebrate 50th birthdays, and we wanted to make it special.

We chose to stay in riads instead of hotels. Each one was unique, but they all provided excellent service, friendly staff, and delicious breakfast. The only thing that could be improved are the tour guides. We felt some pushed us to go to specific stores to shop, and one ended with a demand for a tip (which we had planned to give).

Tarik, our driver, was awesome! He was friendly and caring, and he looked after our group well. We made some changes along the way, and he was accommodating. I will most certainly use Original Travels and Kim Kim again!!

Then helped us plan a tailored itinerary based on our interests. We had an excellent driver, Samir we drove us all around Morocco and we always felt very safe in his van. Samir was very helpful finding us places to exchange money and even helped us make reservations as various restaurants for us. He was very informative about each area we visited. He was always on time to pick us up each morning and always bought us each a fresh bottle of water for our next journey. Morocco is a beautiful country! Kim Kim made our journey extra special providing recommendations and local guides at various stops. Highlights were wandering through a maze of brightly colored markets in each city, visiting Chefchaouen, the Blue City and camping on the Sahara Desert, arriving on camels. I would highly recommend calling Kim Kim to help plan your next trip! Thank you for helping create this unforgettable trip for us!

My family of four (my husband, myself, and two sons ages 8 and 6) just returned from an incredible 10-day tour of Morocco with Kim Kim and Original Travels. Our itinerary was Casablanca > Chefchaoen > Fes > Merzouga > Ait Benhaddou > Marrakesh > Essaouira. Kim Kim did an excellent job of helping me start the process of planning the trip. Original Travel, and my contact Said, were meticulous, helpful, and responsive in suggesting an itinerary, answering my questions and concerns, and above all planning an amazing trip. They provided extraordinary service and attended to all our needs. When I had a credit card mishap and delay, they extended the payment deadline to accommodate my needs. Said, my contact, even went out of his way to meet with us at our Marrakesh hotel with one of the owners to offer us a personal welcome and ask for our input on how things were going. He was eager to hear any of our suggestions for improvement, of which we had very few! The itinerary was amazing, featuring some of the places that I had requested and others I wouldn’t have known to request but would have regretted missing.

The hotels were well chosen, curated to give us a sense of the best of the country and its hospitality. A couple of the hotels were some of the most exquisite buildings I had ever stayed in after four decades of travel over six continents. The tours were comprehensive and engaging. The pinnacle experience of many was the overnight stay in the Sahara desert. Riding camels for 2-hours into the dunes over sunset to stay in a luxury camp with full bathrooms in fancy tents, eating delicious fresh grilled food and then gathering around the fire for live music played by our hosts is a memory I will not soon forget.

Besides the incredible scenery and the introduction to a vibrant and beautiful culture, the standout of our experience was our driver Abdelhadi. He was kind, caring, professional, prompt, personable, and helpful. He provided outstanding service as a driver-guide, sometimes taking the lead in interpreting the towns and sites we visited, and sometimes taking backseat to another local guide. In all cases, he made us feel utterly taken care of. He was always ready when we needed him, checking in every morning and evening via What’sApp to see if there was anything we needed and to coordinate our plans for our next meeting. He was our boon companion for 10 full days, sticking around when needed and giving us space whenever appropriate. He also had a preternatural ability to anticipate all of our needs and provide for them before we realized that we had them. He was gifted in relating to people, making people feel comfortable, and most of all in engaging with our children. He bought them treats and toys and was always making sure to converse with them. By the end my kids were hugging him every morning. My kids insisted on staying in touch with Abdelhadi! My 8-year-old son made sure I included the following quote about Abdelhadi in this review: “He is amazing and we will miss him.” It takes an incredible range of skills to be a driver for a foreign family for 10 full days and be just the right balance of present and respectful of our needs.

I highly recommend Original Travel and their Morocco tour. My only complaint with our experience comes down to my own ambition: I wanted to see everything in the ten days we had. I ended up asking to do too much in too little time! For anyone reading this, we could have done the same itinerary in twice the time, giving us more time to soak in the experiences and be sure to have enough down time so that we could enjoy one incredible cultural destination after another.

We had an absolutely amazing trip. Right from the start Abdellah and Said from Original Travel were great, responsive and professional. Trip was very nicely planned according to our requests and budget.

Bachir, our driver, was unbelievable. He kept us safe on the road and taught us so much about his country and their culture. You need a driver in Morocco. There are so many cops on the roads stopping cars just because.
Abdullah and Said were able to book amazing Riads for us and such fun experiences. I just told them the type of places I wanted to stay and the types of activities we wanted to do, they took care of everything.
The Dessert experience was unforgettable. My daughter still talks about her Camel ride and riding the Quads around the dunes. Glamping in the desert was something out of this world.
The 5:45 am pick up for the Hot Air Balloon in Marrakesh was worthy. What an experience.
Hassam, our guide in Marrakesh was great. He is so knowledgeable of his culture and the history of the city. Try to make sure he is your guide.
I would like to thank all of the people that made us feel so safe and welcome. Our driver Bachir, all the people that worked in the Riads and excursions..Said, thank you for taking the time to meet us at the end of the trip to make sure we had a great time. Also, thanks for booking the Hammam on our last day in Marrakech at our Road. It was amazing. Such a great treat before we had to come home.
We would definitely recommend Abdullah, Said and his team. Work well done guys. Thank you for all the memories.

Our trip was expertly planned and executed by our travel specialist, who worked with us to create a customized itinerary that perfectly suited our interests. We visited all of the major highlights of Morocco, including Casablanca, Rabat, Fes, Marrakech, and the Sahara Desert. We also had the opportunity to explore some lesser-known gems, such as the ancient city of Volubilis and the Blue City of Chefchaouen.

Throughout our trip, we were treated to the utmost in hospitality and care. Our driver Hassan was incredibly knowledgeable about Morocco and its history, and he went out of his way to make sure we had a comfortable and enjoyable journey. He also took us to some great places that we would never have found on our own.

I would highly recommend KimKim Travel to anyone looking for a trip to Morocco. They offer a wide range of tours and activities, and they will work with you to create a customized itinerary that perfectly meets your needs. I guarantee you will have an unforgettable experience with KimKim Travel.

In addition to the excellent service and planning, I would like to specifically thank our driver Hassan for his kindness and flexibility. He was always willing to answer our questions and go the extra mile to make sure we had a great time. He even drove us to the airport on our last day, which was a huge help.

Overall, I had an amazing experience with KimKim Travel and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trip to Morocco.

From street vendor pomegranate juice to Harira on the street corner, spicy tea in the J'ma el Fna and a trip to every souk (olives, pastries, candied nuts, the butcher souk) I think we did it all! Be sure to see where the bread is being baked, the subterranean oven where the lambs are roasted, and the Tanjia as well as the Tajine. We enjoyed Chebakia, the best donuts (Sfinges) in Marrakesh, and dates, dates, and more tasty dates!

Half-Day Guided Sightseeing in Fes

Fes

Beautiful experience to see Fes, however our tour guide took us into some uncomfortable situations where we were 1-on-1 with various store owners looking to understandably sell their wares to us. He initially told us that we should buy from the pottery co-op that we visited first, but then 5 different times were we put into situations where we had to either decline after a 1-on-1 walkthrough of how their products are made, followed by a lot of haggling, or we just caved in and bought something. Again, we fully understand as tourists that there is a need to support the economy, however we did not anticipate that we would be put in so many uncomfortable 1-on-1 situations throughout the day trip. By the end, we wished we were in a bigger group, which is not ideal.

Absolutely fantastic trip! We loved our experience visiting the northern parts of Morocco and the imperial cities. Every place we visited was incredible--Chefchaouen, Volubilis, Meknes, Fes, Rabat, Casablanca, and Marrakech. Our driver Abdellatif was very friendly and accommodating to our requests.

He provided us with a lot of information about Morocco and its people and culture while we drove. We also had two outstanding guides showing us around Fes (Abdullah, nickname "Banana") and Marrakech (Hassan). In Fes, Abdullah customized our itinerary per our requests, and made sure to give us plenty of time to visit all of the sights and monuments that we were most excited to see. Hassan was very funny, knowledgeable, and witty during our tour of Marrakech. He told us so much about the Moroccan culture and shared many stories about the famous monuments we were seeing.

The hotels where we stayed in Chefchaouen, Fes, and Marrakech were absolutely incredible! We stayed in Dar Jasmine in Chefchaouen, Riad Fes in Fes, and La Maison Arabe in Marrakech. What amazing experiences. We felt like we were staying in palaces, and we definitely got a flavor of the local art, decorations, and culture at each place.

When we were planning the tour, both Abdellah and Said from Original Travels were very helpful and responsive. They gave us good advice about which cities to visit, and they customized our overall itinerary per our requests. Said also rearranged our entire itinerary after we decided to fly into Tangier rather than into Casablanca.

Thank you to Original Travels, as well as to our driver Abdellatif and our tour guides Abdullah (Banana) and Hassan. They made our trip to Morocco truly an unforgettable experience.

Our entire Morocco trip was world class in every way. The schedule was well prepared and the guides and the driver chosen for this trip were excellent. The hotels that were chosen for the trip were outstanding with the best customer service that we could get anywhere in the world.

There were only couple of small hiccups with the hotel reservation in Casablanca and the garden tickets in Marrakech but they were resolved very quickly. The guides chosen for the different visits in different cities were very knowledgeble as well as patient in taking us to all the key sites in the specific cities. Our driver was also very patient because my children were sick one of the days and so we had to make some adjustments to the travel plan to accommodate that. We were four of us and so I am sure each of us have our own memorable spots during our travel. For me it was Marrakech and our stay in the desert in Merzougah. Both were outstanding and showed us very different aspects of Morocco. The one aspect of Morocco that we all loved is the people who made us very welcome in every city that we visited. That is testament to the country being a fantastic place for tourists to come to and learn about and understand what Morocco is all about. Even though we did not speak Arabic or French, it was easy to communicate with anyone who dealt with tourists because English was very well spoken and understood everywhere.

Morocco was in our bucket list for quite sometime and we decided to take a trip on Dec 2023. We got really busy with our work and family didn't had much time to do the research.

I stumbled upon KimKim during a quick search about Morocco. My criteria was to go with a locally owned company and I noticed Abdellah's Origin Travels. Given rave reviews, I decided to given him a call. I am so glad I did.

His itinerary was fool proof, chose best experiences, hotels and he even considered experiences for our kid . What a trip that was !
We loved every aspect of it! Ilyaas our driver and guide kept in mind every minute details and things we requested for and accommodated it. Said & Abdellah kept in touch with us throughout the trip.

We love handmade & handicrafts. They took us to best co-operatives and souks. Fez is an unforgettable experience, so is Merzouga. To Camel keepers , local guides, Berber families ,Nomads , Riad & Kasabh staffs , Abdellah,Said &Ilyas : We can't thank you enough for the experience. We learned to be more kind , humble and appreciative of the diverse world we live in.
, we met.

Being a foodie, I can't stop without a review on food .We had so many great meals but the best one we liked was a Berber dish prepared for us at Merzouga. The Kasabh name is Takojt. The meat & egg prepared the Berber way, OMG! It was out of this world.

I must say it has been a pleasure to hire kim kim for this trip, I strongly recommend the planning and care of Said an the service, the driving skills and the amability of Abdellah.
Great picks for the hotels and we were able to scroll the best of Morocco in merely 12 days due to a great planning offered by Kim Kim.
No one would regret hiring them: good prices, good choices, excellent services!!! read more

We spent 8 days in Morocco and left with enough reasons to return over and over again. The country and its people have so much to offer - regardless of your interests. We travelled as a family of 3 generations and everyone delighted in each and every day. Ilyas (our driver) definitely takes care to maintain relationships throughout the country which had the additional benefit of opening doors to conversations and opportunities throughout our visit (and his driving was great, too).

Abdellah and Said were very helpful. They would respond quickly when we have a question or concern. The guide in Fez, Hindi, was quite good and we enjoyed his tour.
All the sights were beautiful. Morrocco is a beautiful country. The dessert in Merzouga was memorable but too long to get to.
The tour itself was very tiring being on the road for so long. On hindsight, I should have just stayed in Marrakesh and Fez and do day tours rather that a 7 day road trip.
I believe there’s an option for this., which I should have taken instead.

The vocabulary and command of English language that Karim had was exceptional
Everything we asked for was very well organized and fulfilled. Transport, accommodation, and specific tours, of the best quality.
In Marrakesh, we met Hannan, who was our tour guide, in addition to being super well received by her, we were invited to a sensational dinner tour which my children thoroughly enjoyed.
Although all the cities we visited surprised us, it was the period of touring the dessert camp enchanted us the most. It was a very comfortable and relaxing tent stay to end our tour.
Much more than just providing services, and quick in responding to our questions we feel very welcomed and always taken care of by them.
By the end of the trip, we felt more like friends than customers. Highly recommend them.

Not sure whether or not guide knew this place sold fake products.

When we were not feeling well during our stay in the desert, Karim went to town and got us medicine. This is a gesture we truly appreciated.

So sorry to advise - my trip had to be postponed until late Spring 2023.

Please do not hesitate to contact me then for a review.

I’d wanted to visit the beautiful country of Morocco 🇲🇦 for years, so I decided to work with KimKim to plan and book my trip. I normally plan and book all my trips on my own, but since I wasn’t too familiar with the country (or the languages), and after doing extensive research on tour companies, I chose KimKim to plan my tour.

I was very pleased with how the planning of the tour went, thanks to Said, the booking manager. They made the planning process very easy, and even though it was high-season, still managed to book most of my first-choice hotels and riads. We had ongoing communication regarding places of interest, sites, culture, and activities until Said had designed a perfectly curated tour to my liking.

My driver for the trip, Soufiane, exceeded all expectations. He went above and beyond what I expected, always making sure I was enjoying the trip, and whenever something needed adjusting, he quickly responded. His driving was very good, always a positive attitude and spoke English well…oh, and also has great taste in music! :). During the trip, I decided to skip a city in order to have more time in Marrakech, so Soufiane drove me 10+ hours to make it happen. Moreover, he invited me to his home to have dinner with his amazing family, which was an unforgettable experience. In the beginning he was my driver, but by the end, considered him a dear friend. Did I mention he carried my luggage up 150 steps? When you travel to Morocco, you’ll find the country is quite beautiful, but the genuine hospitality of its people is what I found to be the lasting memory of my journey.

My tour started in Casablanca. The Hassan II mosque is quite impressive and well worth seeing (day and at night), but I wouldn’t recommend staying more than a day or 2. We then essentially made a big clockwise loop which included: Rabat, Chefchaouen (the blue city), Fes, Merzouga, Marrakech, Essaouira and a very fun day trip to Imsouane, then back to Casablanca. I loved it all, but if I had to choose, I’d say Chefchaouen, the camel ride in the Sahara (Merzouga) and Marrakech were my top 3 favorites.

The local guides (for the city tours) were all pretty good. Some spoke English better than others. Notable guides were Latvi (Chefchaouen), Mohammed (Fes), and another Mohammed (food tour in Marrakech).

Hotels / Riads:

Overall, the hotels and riads were nice, but I liked some better than others. The top 3 favorites were Dar Jasmine (Chefchaouen), Riad Nyla Wellness and Spa (Marrakech) and Palais Amani (Fes). Dar Jasmine was special due to it’s location and epic views of Chefchaouen, and the unbelievably clean Nyla with it’s fantastic service, staff and breakfast was definitely a highlight.
